Waters 1 class uplc

To determine
relative covalent binding (%]) to PPARγ via denaturing intact
mass analysis, 5 μM human recombinant PPARγ was incubated
with 5 μM compound (n = 2) at room temperature. Each sample
contained 1% DMSO, including the PPARγ control without compound.
Reactions were stopped after 1 h via the addition of 2 μL of
4% TFA to a 10 μL reaction volume. Samples were measured on
a Waters I Class UPLC coupled to a Waters SYNAPT G2-S quadrupole-TOF
electrospray instrument operated in the ESI+ mode. The Waters I Class
UPLC instrument was equipped with a Waters Mass Prep C4 column, 2.1
× 5 mm. The column temperature was set to 65 °C, and the
flow rate was 100 μL/min. Samples were measured with a gradient
from 20% buffer B to 80% buffer in 1.9 min, with a total run time
of 6 min. Buffer A contained water + 0.1% formic acid, and buffer
B contained MeCN + 0.1% formic acid. The MS settings were as follows: m/z range, 150–2200; scan time,
1 s; acquisition mode, resolution; and acquisition time 5 min.

The Waters H-Class UPLC was utilized for the Method development and validation study (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA). The entire study was conducted using empower software to acquire, process, and report chromatographic data (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA). A statistical tool, Design-Expert-13, was employed to screen and optimize the CMPs (Stat-Ease Inc, Minneapolis, USA). Various Acquity UPLC columns (100 mm Length × 2.1 mm ID), such as BEH C₈, BEH C₁₈, BEH Phenyl, HSS T₃, and Protein BEH C₄ were assessed for the separation of components (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA). The Waters Xevo G2-XS Quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-ToF) MS instrument with step wave ion optics and XS collision cell coupled with Waters I-Class UPLC was used to separate and identify unknown impurities (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA). UNIFI software was used to identify molecular and fragment ions and their molecular structures (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA).

The samples were separated by liquid chromatography on an ACE 3 C8, 50 × 2.1 mm column (MZ-Analysentechnik GmbH, Mainz, Germany), using a Waters I-Class UPLC (Waters GmbH, Eschborn, Germany). Solvents: 50 mM FA in water (A) and 50 mM FA in acetone/acetonitrile 1/1 (B). A flow rate of 0.9 mL/min preheated at 60 °C was used. The gradient was linear, and the analytes were eluted between 40% and 70% B solvent.
The UPLC was coupled with an AB-Sciex TQ-5500 (AB Sciex Germany GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) mass spectrometer, using a 3:1 flow splitter. An MRM method was used for monitoring the analytes with the following settings: curtain gas, 40 psi; ion spray, 5500 V; desolvation temperature, 500 °C; declustering potential, 40 V; entrance potential, 10 V; collision energy, 30 V; and MRM transitions, Lyso-Gb1 (462.3–282.2) and Lyso-Gb2 internal standard (624.3–282.2).
